A/N~ 2 week time skip. I am the author so do not question me or I'll kill off someone! Muahahahaha!
It's been a month since Jade left. Exactly one month. I'm losing my mind. So many questions.
Where could she be? Wouldn't I have heard from her by now? Did something happen to her?
My thoughts are interrupted by Thalia. "Tornado! Guess what!?"
"What?" I ask her.
"Jade's back."
I jump off my bunk and run over to Thalia, grabbing her shoulders. "Where is she?"
"Infirmary. Apollo cabin are seeing to her."
I run past her to the infirmary. When I get there Andre sees me first and steps away from the bed that a load of Apollo kids are crowded around. I see Jade for a brief second before someone steps into the gap.
"Tori. You've heard." It's not a question
I nod. "Is she okay?"
He grimaces. "She's alive, but not doing well. We've got no idea what's happened to her. She's not woken up. She has a severe head injury. Possible amnesia. We asked Clovis from Hypnos to put her into a regenerative sleep while she heals. She should be waking up within in the hour. Why don't you go tell the gang?" He asks. I know he's trying to keep me occupied, but I agree anyway.
I make a list of who needs to be told and the order;
-Cat
-Robbie
-Freddie
-Sam
I run to the Iris cabin, and knock. The head counselor, Amitola, (A/N~ Someone I know reccomended this name. It literally means "of the rainbow") opens the door.
"Hi, Amitola. Is Cat there?" I ask.
She nods. "Cat!" She yells.
"Whatty?" She appears.
"Jade's back." I tell her.
"JADEY!" She shouts, looking around.
"No, Cat. She's not here." I inform her.
"Where's Jadey, then?" She pouts.
"In the infirmary. Sleeping." I don't mention that she's in a coma and possibly dying. Not just for Cat's sake, but for mine, too. If I say it out loud, I don't think I'll be able to keep it together.
"Tor-Tor?" Cat waves her hand in front of my face.
"Sorry, did I zone out again?" I ask.
"Yeah."
"Sorry. Won't happen again. Can you do me a favor?" I ask.
"Whaty?" She responds.
"Can you go tell Robbie? I need to tell Sam and Freddie."
"Kay kay." She replies, running off to find her boyfriend.
Freddie's next. I run to the Poseidon cabin. Carly storms out. I raise my hand to knock, but I hear voices inside. Well, more moans than words. I turn to leave.
Freddie needs to know.
I sigh and admit defeat. I knock on the door and seconds later Freddie appears, face flushed, hair messed up, and, thankfully, the door hiding the front of his pants.
"Sooo... who's the lucky girl? Or guy? No judging." I ask
"Err... No one."
"Oh my gods, Benson. I am so giving you lying lessons." Says a voice behind us. I know that voice. My eyes widen.
Sam comes to the door, clothes almost as disheveled as Freddie's, lip gloss smudged, and looking very pleased with herself.
"Well, what is it? We're kinda busy, here." Sam snaps.
"Jade's back. She's in the infirmary. Asleep. They're treating her now. She might not make it." I whisper the last part. Sam pulls me into a hug.
"Freddie, we're going to the infirmary." Sam tells him.
"Okay, I'll meet you there. Just... give me a few minutes." He stutters.
Sam laughs and says, "still got it." before putting an arm around my shoulder and walking with me to the infirmary.
Jade's awake when we arrive. I rush to see her when I notice Beck sitting next to her. He whispers something to her, and she leans over and kisses him on the lips. I feel my heart break.
Sam charges foreward. "What the Hades is the matter with you, West?"
Andre's words from earlier play through my head. Severe head injury. Possible amnesia. I step foreward and put a hand on Sam's shoulder. Jade looks at us and I see something flash in her eyes. Was that jealousy?
My voice is shaking. "Jade."
"What, Vega?" I look into her eyes and I'm almost certain I can see love in the green orbs. Funny how I never noticed until now.
"What's the last thing you remember?" I ask.
"Arriving here, and pushing you off the Pegasus." She replies.
Almost a month ago. Before she broke up with Beck and we got together. There's a sudden dull aching pain in my chest., but I ignore it for her sake, if nothing else.
"Actually, I remember breaking up with Beck, too, but he told me we got back together. He said you helped, actually. Like always." She gives me a small smile. "Thanks, by the way." Beck is smirking at me.
I open my mouth to say... I don't know what. That I didn't help them? That they never got back together? That she's dating me, not Beck? That we're in love?
Whatever I was about to say dies on my lips when Andre walks up to me and mutters, "don't tell her. She's just recovered. Too much, too fast. I'm not happy about this, either, but that's what dad says. She needs to figure it out on her own."
All I can do is nod. "Get well soon, Jade." I whisper, before walking out. I bump into Cat, Freddie and Robbie on the way.
"Tor-Tor, what is it?" Cat asks.
"Jade doesn't remember being with me. Beck convinced her that they got back together." I whisper, and burst into tears.
The three of them pull me into a group hug. I cry into Cat's shoulder for a while, and then I feel a fourth pair of arms around me. I glimpse blonde hair. Sam.
"It'll be okay, kid." She whispers. "She'll figure it out, and if not, I'll get Beck a few times with the buttersock."
I laugh a little, and pull myself away from the group. "Thanks, guys. I'm gonna go to my cabin. I just need to be alone right now." They nod and I all but run to my cabin. When I arrive I collapse onto my bunk, oddly thankful that Jason and Thalia aren't here, and I cry. I cry for all I'm worth. I cry over Jade. I cry over what Beck did to me, and her. I cry over all my what if's and all my questions. So many questions, but I never imagined this.
